Sand Filter Installation Guide

While installing a new sand filter seems like a daunting task due to its size, it’s actually quite simple to do if you have the right tools and the right know-how. 

• Turn off the pump and close off any valves. 
• If you’re replacing an existing sand filter, first remove the sand by scooping it out or using a venturi pump before attempting to remove the shell. We’re talking about a lot of sand so for safety’s sake, please remove all of the sand before taking out the old sand filter. 
• If you’re replacing a cartridge filter, simply unscrew the old filter and remove. 
• If you don’t have unions installed in your current setup, it’s a good idea to have some installed while you’re replacing your current filter. 
• Make any plumbing changes to fit your new sand filter. 
• Screw in any unions and plumbing connections. 
• Fill the sand filter up about halfway with water before adding in the sand to prevent damage to your sand filter’s internals. 
• Once the sand is in, secure the multiport and attach all required plumbing lines. 
• Set the multiport to backwash and turn on the pump. Run on backwash for a couple of minutes then turn off your pump. Set to rinse, run the pump for about a minute or so. 
• Your new sand filter is now ready to use!
